简爱 Jane10 - Chapter 2 Going To School

　　"Afraid of ghosts, are you?" he smiled.

　　"I'm afraid of Mr. Reed's ghost! He died in that room, you know. Nobody ever goes in there any more. It was cruel to lock me in there alone without a candle. I shall never forget it!"

　　"But you're not afraid now. There is something else that is making you sad, isn't there?" he said, looking kindly at me.

　　How could I tell him how unhappy my life was!

　　" I have no father or mother, brothers or sisters," I said.

　　"But you have a kind aunt and cousins."

　　"No, there are not kind! John Reed hit me, and when I tried to protect myself, my aunt locked me in the red room." I cried.

　　"Don't you like living in such a beautiful house?" he asked.

　　"I would be happy to leave it, but I have nowhere to go."

　　"You have no other family?"

　　"I think I may have some, who are very poor, but I know nothing about them," I answered.

　　The doctor thought for a while. "Jane, would you like to go to school?" he asked finally. I thought for a moment. I had never been to a real school, but at least it would be a new life.
